My mom—Audrey Kunes and her friend, Marilyn “Cussy” Cussimano worked at the Lido in 1946 and they were paid $0.50 cents per hour. Cussy was 15 and only earned only $0.45 cents. They worked at the candy and popcorn counter. Back then, Cussy said you could take home any unsold popcorn at the end of the evening. They always had plenty to take home!

The Kunes family lived at 1839 South 10th Avenue Maywood, IL 60153. Audrey’s father had a Deli store on 5th Avenue in Maywood. It was Deli with a soda fountain and they also sold newspapers, cigars, cigarettes, candy and other stuff.
